15 days

Posted on October 19, 2020 by A Dreamer

Until election day. (I think. At least that is what the Twitters are telling me. I already voted, and I rarely know what day it is anymore.) If you haven’t voted yet, please, please, PLEASE make your plan to vote … Continue reading →

Super Sunday!

Posted on October 18, 2020 by A Dreamer

OK, I couldn’t think of a better slug, LOL. It’s Sunday and let me tell you, it came around far too soon. We have a new functioning water meter, so that’s good, I guess – I still can’t believe they’re … Continue reading →

Well, that was an unmitigated disaster

I attempted to make chili tonight. A meal I have made hundreds of times. I used dried kidney beans this time. Got them back in the spring when it was still chili weather and the market was totally out of … Continue reading →

Gooooooood morning!

Posted on October 17, 2020 by A Dreamer

We’re waiting on the water meter person to come and replace the busted meter. The appointment is for “12 noon to…sometime” (there was a window, I legit can’t remember the end point for it at this point, I just didn’t … Continue reading →

Well, something nice happened.

Posted on October 13, 2020 by A Dreamer

Our company has made election day a holiday! Not some “if you haven’t already voted, you can take the day” bullshit, but a full on “office is closed, moose out front shoulda told you” holiday. Another nice thing – just … Continue reading →

Another Monday

Posted on October 12, 2020 by A Dreamer

And Lindsey Graham is going to infect the entire damn Judiciary committee with Covid to get 45’s craptastic SCTOUS nominee through. I don’t even know how we fight that, given that the R’s just don’t give a shit, have no … Continue reading →

Oh, let there be light!

Posted on October 10, 2020 by A Dreamer

On this World Mental Health Day, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the importance of good lighting. If you can’t get good natural light (and it’s not easy) – get decent lamps. Lots of them. I know it’s … Continue reading →

Well, if we’re gonna be on this bullshit for another year

Posted on October 10, 2020 by A Dreamer

Guess it’s best to think about making some changes to save my sanity. (Here’s hoping it will be less necessary after January 20th.) — HYDRATION! I am not awesome about this, and I know it is important. I am better … Continue reading →

How do I do this for another *year*?

Posted on October 9, 2020 by A Dreamer

I mean, I will, because I have to, but I just don’t know how I manage it with any shred of grace or sanity. I definitely have pandemic burnout. I am still mostly functioning (though you couldn’t tell it from … Continue reading →
